lestat, yes, as long as you don't want to keep the old phrasing for further reference, you can remove "obsolete" items while translating. Keep in mind that there is no UI for doing that in Qt Designer -- you can manually edit the .ts file and delete all <message> elements that contain <translation type="obsolete"> elements. No need to do it right now because I will remove obsolete translations from all files before the 1.4.0 release.
